Icarus

-

I used to want to be like you, in each and every way

But now I see you’re on the run, from the night and day

Don’t fly too high or get too close to that burning sun

Don’t try to out do what you’ve already outdone

Please Icarus take it one step at a time

-

You had the world at your feet

You could have any girl, eat out of your hand

You were more a man than these boys ever were

Why’d you have to throw it all?

-

I used to watch you from afar, while I drove in my car

But now I’ve seen the real you, you’re nothing but a dying star

Don’t overstep the mark or overdose on special K

Don’t choose the easy road and throw your life away

Please listen to me just this one time

-

You had every chance to go the distance

You had the fire you had the passion

You were the object of desire

Why’d you have to blow it all?

-

I used to think you were smart, with all your witty remarks

But now I’ve seen you for what you are, out of the shadow out of the dark

Don’t try overcomplicate an already complicated mess

Don’t overcompensate you’re nothing more and nothing less

Please don’t do this just to impress

-

You were the king of the streets

Your music was played all day

Your voice sang so sweet and so clear

Why did you have to fall?

-

I used to want to be there, right by your side

Be the apple of your eye, the golden prize

Don’t try to be more than you are, you don’t need it all

Don’t be a fool, if you climb too high you’ll only fall

Please come down from the ledge

-

Icarus, why did you have to fly so high?

Why did you have to die?

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
